This week we have a medical and construction team with us, it is always an honor to host missions teams, I always love seeing what the Lord does during these times. Today, along with a group of 25 medical and evangelism people we journeyed to Cumbatza. Over 10 years ago, we began working with the village of Cumbatza and have come to develop strong, incredible relationship with the people there.
Today we were able to attend over 160 people with all kinds of medical needs. We also made two house calls, one to my "Shuar grandmother" who is around 100 years old, they really aren't sure her age and is ill with typhoid. I was also with her last week as she is a dear friend of mine and has such an amazing story. (there is a short video of our ministry on our website: junglemissionary.com and she is on there with me smiling and happy!) However, today it was a different story with her on the hard wood floors in agony and pain. She speaks no English but through a few words I know and a translator, we were able to tell her we are praying for her and that Jesus loves her and so do we. I left encouraged knowing that one day soon, she will be facing our Lord face to face as He welcomes her into His arms.
Throughout the day, I was able to sit and talk and laugh with many precious people who have a story to tell just like my Shuar grandmother Juana.(one day I'll tell you her story, that's a book in itself!)
Behind her eyes, lies a soul filled with a story that completes the details of her journey called life!
